That's No Moon

I don't think Ducasse is making the football team. I think they keep Mudge instead.

I live far enough in the woods with still a noisy enough spectrum that an antenna is useless at my house without a directional and a mast. Doesn't really surprise me that younger people don't know they exist, my kids have never seen one and my oldest is 11.

I saw it in IMAX and thoroughly recommend it. Historical inaccuracy aside it was an excellent movie and I thought it did a good job of capturing the overall spirit of the event without trying to encompass the entire thing which would have become a 4 hour "The Longest Day" in reverse. You follow a couple groups of people through their intertwining experiences in a snippet of time in a snippet of geography in what was an extremely large event. It's not dialogue driven though you see some evolution of characters over the course of the film. I really only found 2 "are you serious with this?" moments in the film, one was relatively excusable the other was blatant. I won't spoil. You should be aware that the film does not flow from point A to point B in time, it jumps back and forth and you will see the same events from different perspectives several times so don't get all bent out of shape if there seems to be continuity problems, There aren't. It's supposed to be that way. Also, I feel the IMAX really added something to the film. I know it was shot on 70mm film unlike most modern movies so I don't know if that was part of it or not but it seemed like it belonged on the huge screen as opposed to some films where it's added on and it becomes difficult to see everything. It was great and I think the moving through time added to the sense of dread, despair, desperation, and foreboding when you see the characters in a struggle which you already know won't end well for them. Didn't find it to be depressing at all.

It's before Labor Day so white shoes are acceptable.

Passed inspection means someone signed off on it, not that it was actually inspected properly and they apparently started inspections late because of rain. Who knows how thorough that inspection actually was. Yes, many times, and never once has my car or any other car in my vicinity spontaneously disintegrated while driving down the road flinging occupants 20' in the air to land on the highway. If I do happen to hit something, or someone hits me, my car is also equipped with seat belts and airbags not a lap bar and air.

Interceptions aren't often the result of an inaccurate pass it's the result of an improper read or a forced throw. Rivers forces throws into coverage all the time. His career completion percentage is 64.4% though. Peyton Manning led the league in INTs too. I don't think anyone would call him inaccurate.

Not temporary ones at fairs, carnivals or the boardwalk at least. The more times you take something apart and reassemble it the more chances for error you introduce.

Accuracy is a physical asset. He did not have it at OSU and didn't have it last year and won't have it this year either.

With the current CBA practice time and OTA rules you simply don't have the ability to completely break down and rework your #3 QB anymore. Particularly if he's not super invested in working hard on his own and/or resistant to change. Even in camp there are probably half the snaps there used to be. Teaching a guy to have field vision and accuracy is nearly impossible by the time they've gotten to the NFL, hence you don't really see a lot of truly developmental QBs work out. More often you see QBs who were drafted low because of measurables such as arm strength or size work out than guys with cannons but no vision or accuracy. There is a window to learn those skills and those guys missed it. It was a bad pick when they made it. Getting a 7th is a win because he was going to be cut in about 3 weeks.

and people wondered why I didn't care for Stevie Johnson.

A. There's a difference between bringing in a guy to throw one time and actually signing said player. B. Good teams do this all the time with all positions. Your pro scouts saw someone they think might help the bottom of the roster, you bring them in for a workout.

Yeah I was going to, but it's Gugny so nevermind.

They used to allow beer kegs in the stadium so long as you bought the keg a seat. A guy shimmied his way out onto the guide wire that holds up the kicking net, on purpose. I think the old timers would be able to hold their own. That said, that film wasn't as bad as it could have been but people should understand it will be used as Exhibit A as to why the stadium needs to go downtown and tailgating needs to be reigned in permanently. People are way too eager and proud to post their jackassery online.

Yeah, Wendy's is the only thing in my adult life to send me to the hospital. Good times.

Wendy's tried to kill me once. I took the hint and haven't gone back.

And for the record, it's good for fast food but it's still fast food. If they take the spicy chicken sandwich off the menu I'll have no reason to return.

I don't always want Chik-fil-a but when I do, it's always on a Sunday.

Did someone put a bullet in his head, you know, to be sure?

Better is better, different is different. Different does not necessarily equal better.

Sesame Place has long been a place where members of NY, NJ, and Philly gangs meet-up with their kids. Dorney Park in Allentown is a mess too. Both the amusement park and the water park.

That's solid work by the agent there and good on Bobby for agreeing to it. All players would be wise to seek out actual quality representation who looks out for their long term interests like that. Too many agents seek to maximize immediate cash payout because that's how THEY get paid and how THEY attract a bigger client base. Deals like this, while much less sexy, are incredibly good business.

Found it completely by accident one time. I was driving down McKinley on a Saturday before the game when I noticed that all the parking lots on that side of McKinley are connected together in some fashion all the way around to the lots on Milestrip. Don't you all go ruining it for me now. Save the Batcave for special occasions only. Of course you can also just go through the mall parking lot over to Milestrip and use the light there to get you out but it's still on the wrong side of the McKinley intersection. Yes, TSA in B-Lo has been good on Sunday nights as well. I think they staff it appropriately on home game Sundays realizing that there are more people coming through than on a typical Sunday night. If you have the TSA pre-check it's even better.

That's true, it's a good 10 minute walk. I always park on the far side of the campus as well. But as you said, those 10 minutes translate into getting straight out of the lot every time.

IIRC in Darby's first pre-season he looked a hot mess then did a good job during the season. The transition to zone is going to be interesting though. Put me down for 6 wins. I don't see a lot of improvement on the roster. Some churn, yes, just not much that's actually better. As for McDermott I witnessed his dumpster fire of a defense in Philadelphia so I'll take a wait and see approach. Maybe he learned something from that debacle.
